Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey lady, let me tell you why
I can't live my life without you (Oh, baby)
[Verse 2]
Every time I see you walkin' by, I get a thrill
You don't notice me, but in time, you will
I must make you understand
[Verse 3]
I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
I want to be your man (Yes I do, yeah, yeah)
I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
I want to be your man (Want to be your man)
[Verse 4]
You better not pass me by
'Cause if you do, you'll lose a good thing (Oh, baby)
'Cause what I've got to say
Is sealed with a kiss, and a wedding ring (Wedding ring)
[Verse 5]
Ooh, my mind is blind, at times I can't see anyone but you
Those other girls don't matter, no, they can't spoil my view
I must make you understand
[Verse 6]
I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
I want to be your man (Yes I do, yeah, yeah)
I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
I want to be your man (Want to be your man)
[Verse 7]
Words can never say what I feel, it's too intense
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried to tell you how I feel
But I get mixed up (So mixed up)
[Verse 8]
My mind is blind, at times I can't see anyone but you
Those other girls don't matter, no, they can't spoil my view
I must make you understand
[Verse 9]
I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
I want to be your man (Yes I do, yeah, yeah)
I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
I want to be your man (Want to be your man)
[Verse 10]
I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
I want to be your man (Yes I do)
I want to be your man
I want to be your man (Want to be your man)
I want to be your man (Yes I do, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 11]
I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
